PC User Reviews

What I liked in this game? Music (the best part), smooth gameplay, Miami Hotline style, cyberpunk aesthetics, color palate (surprisingly, even though almost everything is red), South Korean and Chinese language. What I didn't like? The world could have been developed better - the city, characters, exploration. Levels are repetitive.

Exceptional game. Graphics 10/10, sound 10/10, gameplay 9/10, loading 10//10. The reason i did not purchase this game earlier was due to the negative reviews. I do not trust any more these reviews and I bought this game during the sale period. Please buy this game and have fun. Only by supporting small developers will gaming be saved.

The tutorial was so cool, it instantly got me hyped to keep playing. It showed me the ropes without slowing things down and made everything feel exciting right off the bat. The combat is super smooth and easy to get into, but still feels awesome every time. And the world? Absolutely gorgeous. I kept stopping just to look around. There’s so much style and atmosphere in every area, it’s hard not to get pulled in. Honestly, I’ve never played anything quite like this. It’s got that perfect mix of fast-paced action and a world you actually want to spend time in. This one’s a total win.

Fue genial, la variedad de armas es muy grande y el sistema de combate es satisfactorio, lo único que no me gusto fue la detección de colisiones y la duración del juego, completado en difícil.

Ruiner is a blood-red fever dream with slick, brutal combat that feels best with KB+M, trust me, ditch the controller. The world-building is intriguing but starved of depth, the story is as cliché as a villain’s monologue, and dialogue choices are just for show. The city hub? Filler at best. And if you’re lucky, you’ll dodge the crashes.. unlike me, who got blindsided mid-arena fight. It’s a stylish ride, but one that stumbles where it matters most.

DEVOLVER DIGITAL standard.. making VIOLENT, DIFFICULT games with GOOD GAMEPLAY I give it an 8 because this one stressed me out more than HOTLINE MIAMI itself

мало разнообразия но работает как часы ...................................................

Çok havalı, çok cool üff, kan akıyor aman tanrım. Evreninde geçen bu oyunun kombatı çok zevkli.

Неплохой шутер/слешер в стиле киберпанк. Плюсы: +Динамичность и зрелищность боев +МНОГО различного оружия , включая холодное +Присутствуют основные визуальные особенности стиля киберпанк: у всех персонажей различные имплантанты, всем правят беспринципные мегакорпорации, виртуальная рельность как наркотик, город-муравейник. + Особенностью ролевой системы является ее гибкость - в любой моменты вы можете перераспределить способности и включить те импланты, которые полезны в данный момент. Минусы: -Слабоватый сюжет (хотя что вы от аркадного слешера хотите?) -Довольно однообразные локации -Нет озвучки диалогов

Можно попробовать, но не стоит ничего ожидать от игры может быть она удивит вас больше чем меня.

This is a great shooter that is well worth your time due to the amount of fun and adrenaline it produces. Despite this, the score isn't higher because although the length is short it still somehow manages to overstay its welcome by a bit

You need to Bang Boom Skriiiip Ratata in this fast paced action game if you really wanna feel the addicting thrill of doing combos and destroying your enemies with a range of weapons. The gameplay is by far one of the funnest ones that I have had in these type of games. The soundtrack pumps you up for the next wave of enemies wishing to crush your bones to dust. The skill system is also pretty giving you the option to test a different types of skill combinations that will suit your pathetic style (shield basher bros for life). The Ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ　サス佳 of this game is superb, I enjoyed the characters (we will all simp for HER don't lie you degenerates)even though they weren't that deeply explored , the city was cool but sadly it wasn't there for most of the time. My biggest issues is sometimes with the UI(the skill menu was a bit confusing at first), the controls not being responsive(happens rarely but still) and the short story and overall game time (I really hoped that there would be more character and world exploration)Overall I can only await for a second game which sadly will never come to be , oh well still gotta beat arena mode lol.

Their music is very impressive. The story could have been a little better. Graphics are not bad.

Maybe this genre isn't for me... After playing a few of these "hotline miami" style games, I just get instantly bored after an hour or so. I'd only recommend this if you are really into the genre.

I didn't played a lot, only 13 hours, but this game is so atmospheric, the music is great and helps the atmosphere. The gameplay, its a top down shooter, that means you like it, or you hate it, it depends on you, but for myself I can say, that it was very interesting. The story is short and you can pretend it, but it's a nice thing. You can have it done in 5 hours, I played twice to get all achievements. When you get it for less than 10 bucks and like top down shooter, then you should buy it.

Pay no mind to this comment, I intend to write a proper review soon enough. For now, just trust this score.

Игра очень хорошая, провёл в ней 9 часов с превеликим удовольствием. Для первой игры от студии Reikon Games так вообще отличная. Хорошие стороны: -Саундтрек: атмосферный и играет в тему -Стилистика: игра использует жанр киберпанк по полной программе, этим самым можно так подождать пока Cyberpunk 2077 допилят) -Геймплей: рекомендую высокий уровень сложности, чтобы ощутить полноценные эмоции от преодоления уровней, чтобы в конце кайфовать, как вы мчитесь по арене как молния и устраиваете полнейшую мясорубку. Спорные вопросы: Способности: скажем так, разнообразие есть, но в эффективности их есть некоторые вопросы, потому что на мой взгляд некоторые способности бесполезны. Боссы: в целом они классные, но было пару боссов, которые или проходятся только чудом, или просто тупо бегаешь по кругу и отстреливаешься, что не очень интересно. Сюжет: тут такой момент: для Shoot ’em upа сюжет прикольный и даёт пару твистов в конце, но это не мешает ему быть простым. По итогу игра стоит того, чтобы её купить и пройти. 6-9 часов геймплея вам обеспечено.)

Great cyberpunk game made on Unreal engine 4. Perfect soundtrack and New game+ mode ️

Love the atmosphere of this game, good OST and good gameplay, especially when fights get so chaotic that it can become hard to tell what is going on, but the BRUTALITY and MAYHEM on display is awesome. This is a true Cyberpunk world and experience, unlike CyberGarbage 2077 made by CDPRekt.

Pros: + superb soundtrack + unique artstyle + responsive controls + balanced difficulty + creative combat abilities Cons: - health bar should be displayed near the character - screen can get cluttered at times - no sound effect on cutscenes - convoluted story ending

Got it for free on Epic games, finished and then bought it on steam to give them some $$. Then signed up to metacritic to rate it (since steam wouldn't let me) - should tell you how great it was. Great atmosphere, art, fast past and hard yet not frustrating combat. Pumping soundtrack that goes with the theme and feel perfectly. Only downside is a little short.

Wonderful game if you are into this genre and looking for a game Hotline Miami-like. The atmosphere and soundtrack is cyberpunk pretty much.

This is awesome top down shooter. I think the last top down shooter which I enjoyed as much was Dead Nation on PS3. This is not easy game to play and it will challenge you. You might have to try to kill the same boss over and over again, try different skills until you get it "right". The cyberpunk theme of this game resonates with me. The whole artistic aspect of this game is very well made with graphics and audio just fit beautifully together. I suggest to play this game with Xbox controller.

Coming from the same publisher, RUINER is essentially Serious Sam's Bogus Detour with a cyberpunk backdrop. If you've played that game (or really any Serious Sam game), you'll already know what to expect from this one: Killing and lots of it. This game is an isometric shooter with an emphasis on skill usage. Fights are fast-paced and reaction-based, and the enemies get progressively harder. The maps are linear and don't provide much in the way of exploration, following a simple corridor format that leads to an eventual boss fight at the end of each section. This game was clearly designed for casual audiences, as checkpoints are aplenty, the game itself isn't super difficult (on Normal at least), and there isn't really a whole lot going in the way of story besides "You've been wronged. Do something about it." The ending was rather underwhelming as well, with many unanswered questions just left hanging. Overall, this is an indie game that provides a good night or two of mindless entertainment to take your mind off things. It's not groundbreaking, but it's not bad either. It deserves a high 7 or a borderline 8, because of how although it doesn't have much in the way of content, it is still an incredibly polished game. It's a fun game to try if you can get it on sale.

The perfect dark violent cyberpunk experience. I've seen people complain about the story but it isn't even half-bad. And while the story isn't anything to write home about, the world-building, setting and art-style 100% make up for it and create a universe that feels rich, deep and beautiful. This game's only flaw is that I desperately want more of it. 10/10, absolute masterpiece. Can't wait for more.

Pese a que su ambientación y estilo gráfico llama un poco la atención, jugablemente no sorprende en absoluto, pues no incorpora ninguna novedad al género que no se haya utilizado hasta la saciedad. Sí que se podría destacar el diseño de algunos personajes secundarios o jefes de nivel.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

Frenético juego de acción en perspectiva isométrica. Cuenta con una cuidada ambientación ciberpunk, una historia interesante y cierto componente rolero (árbol de habilidades y momentos de interacción con NPC's entre misiones) Resulta extremadamente difícil en su máxima dificultad. interesante propuesta para aquellos amantes de la acción más frenética y la ambientación ciberpunk. *Puntuación con respecto al panorama independiente.

Con Ruiner, Devolver Digital vuelve a hacer de las suyas trayéndonos un videojuego de acción al estilo cyberpunk. Con el hype creado con cyberpunk 2077, este juego lanzado en 2017 tuvo el momento perfecto para destacar, gran banda sonora compuetsa por Susumu Hirasawa, el genio detrás de la OST de Berserk, gran jugabilidad y fluidez en movimientos. Una historia simple pero que entretiene, pero sin embargo, he tenido algún que otro bug que jodió la experiencia a ratos.

Pros: -Very well balanced difficulty. Playing on hard will make you die from time to time until you get the right pattern without having any "wtf this is unfair" moments that so many badly balanced games create. -Nervous gameplay : mobility over the tank and spank of some other popular hack&slash -Great Atmosphere and Ambiance -Mindless Fun -Very good music -Optimized for speedrun if that's your thing Neutral : Can't remap control, but if you are not impaired Keyboard+M works well enough Cons -Not super clear on what hits you, and your hitbox is large. -If you are not going multiple playtrough, the game is rather short. I finished the game in a bit over 4 hours. Due to the game low price, this is not that much of an issue though -Not fully voiced -Some boss are easier than trash mobs waves. The final boss was too easy for my taste despite having an awesome artistic direction an number of things to care about on the screen. Overall the gameplay itself is worth maybe a 6 (Cheap, Enjoyable but not memorable), but the artistic direction and soundrack are enough to earn one extra points each.

Ruiner is a solid twin stick shooter with amazing visuals. This is one of a very few games where i actually finished New Game+. Gameplay is fun, challenging and satisfying, there a lot of weapons and upgrades to use and most of them are very impactful and distinct. Main drawback for me was the story: it is very vague and doesn't make much sense.

If you want some unstoppable action in amazingly well designed Cyberpunk world - seek no more. Ruiner is all about anarchy and carnage, dynamic and fast-paced battles, colorful futuristic cyberpunk world (which looks insanely good as game is made on Unreal Engine 4) and absolutely cute protagonist - a psychopat cyborg, seeking revenge to a powerful corporation for hacking him and kidnapping his brother. The setting, the music, the gameplay in this badass twin-stick shooter - everything supplements each other semlessly, building into endless songs of carnage, explosions, burnt bodies, cracked off heads, violent finishers, and romantic wandering the city districts meanwhile, speaking with characters in some kind of comix-style. Storylien is casual, but unlike some players seeing this as a flaw, I see it as a good thing to not distract you from insanely fun gameplay. Pistols, shotguns, rifles, flamethrowers, freezing rays and sonic beams as ranged weapons and pipes, katanas and energy swords as melee ones. Combined with huge amount of abilities and upgrades you can learn, your arsenal of destruction will never make your be bored even for a single second during the last minute of the game. Leveling and skills system deserves additional couple of words - while being a pure action game in general, Ruiner introduces some RPG elements - besides the classic skill points system, you need to have a decent level of so called "karma" to be able to unlock new skills and upgrades, which you can raise by eleminating the criminal gangs and their leaders. What I especially loved is that you can reset all your skills learned and get back your skill to re-distribute them in different way ANYTIME, even in the middle of a combat, simply calling the abilities menu. This simple features frees you from need of replaying the game multiple times to try different playstyles - you can instantly rebuild your class from an energy shield tank to a ferocious ninja in the middle of a battle. Ruiner gave me so much adrenaline and cyberpunk vibes - and personally for me, Ruiner himself is very similar to Ichise, protagonist of iconic cyberpunk anime called "Texhnolyze". Each tiniest detail of the game is blending perfectly, so you fell yourself as a direct continuation of protagonist, a spearhead of Ruiner's rage and fury. Hands down, one of the best twin-stick shooters made in a last few years and a great representative of cyberpunk action games, more then worth of your attention.

Ruiner takes a certain kind of player to enjoy it. It can be very masochistic to play it, you have to expect to die often. Normally I don’t enjoy this kind of game, and truth betold there were times where I didn’t enjoy playing the game, but overall it had a lot going for it. The soundtrack is awesome, the story is good (minus the cliffhanger ending), there are lots of ways to play by how you spend upgrade points, the lore is good and the gameplay is, for the most part, very fun. There are some wrinkles here and there but no game is perfect and not much is major. The gameplay itself is the games main strength. If I can give one piece of advice it is to never stop moving. The game is very fast paced and most of the time when I kept dying over and over in some spots I tended to notice I had stopped moving or slowed down. It is a very tough game but there are ways to help yourself. One of the best parts of the game is that you can reallocate your upgrade points any time you want. Some games don’t allow this and you come to find out ¾ of the way through the game finding out you wish you had of spent the points differently and now are screwed. Ruiner not only allows you to reallocate them it encourages it and I think in some cases expects it of you. More than once when I was having a tough time against a certain enemy I figured out what ability would do a better job against them and experimented finding it. There are a large variety of ranged and melee weapons to compliment as variety of play styles. As far as things that I didn’t like there wasn’t too much. Some enemies you have to face multiple times which I find sloppy and dislike usually. One specific enemy we have to beat 4 times, the last 3 of which are back to back to back. He just keeps getting revived and we have to keep doing it. I find boss fights who can be revived to be a cheap cop out and would rather prefer a smarter enemy. The ending also left a lot to be desired. I am not against cliffhanger endings but the best way I can put it is there could have been more closure than what we got. From a technical standpoint Ruiner was a mixed bag. There was no manual save option. I will give it credit that most of the checkpoints aren’t too far apart but nothing beats the option of manual saves. The game did crash to desktop once on me but other than that ran great. There were also 3 cinematics that only gave me a white screen and one cinematic that the text didn’t display at all. Luckily I was able to watch these on Youtube. The game had four AA levels, Vsync, ability to change difficulty, ALT-Tab support, four other graphics options to tinker with and support for framerates over 60. It did lack ambient occlusion, tessellation and refresh rate options though. Overall the game is well worth playing and was a good amount of fun. It got on my nerves a bit and had some annoying glitches but was worth the journey. I played on Linux and with a keyboard and mouse. My score: 7.5/10 My system: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X | EVGA CLC 240 | 16GB DDR4-3000 CL15 | MSI RX 580 8GB Gaming X | Mesa 18.1.4 | Samsung 850 Evo 250GB | Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming | Corsair AX1200 | InWin 303 White | Solus 3 | Kernel 4.17.11-84.current | AOC G2460P @1920*1080 144hz

The last time controls felt this clunky was with the original Resident Evil. W/A/S/D being northwest/southwest/southeast/northeast is incredibly bad design and this cannot be changed in settings.

Fantastic soundtrack and great weapon design are the highlights of this cyberpunk action game. With cool upgrades the game motivates you to keep going as well but the level design is more than a bit repetitive. And the great style is let down by the boring and very obvious story.

Ruiner no es precisamente el mejor juego al que he jugado y me cuesta recomendarlo. No porque le falte calidad, sino a que no lo he disfrutado tanto como esperaba. La primera mitad lo jugué con ratón y teclado y moría una y otra vez porque, tras dos años con pc para jugar, sigo sin tener la soltura necesaria (de ahí las 12h). Una vez cambié a mando la cosa fue a mejor y empecé a valorarlo como merece y a divertirme más. Juego con cierta personalidad, exigente incluso en dificultad normal, no muy variado en tipo de enemigos, con dos opciones en cuanto a armas: de fuego (de todo tipo) y espadas; y bosses un tanto similares. El gameplay un pelín repetitivo. Por debajo de 15€ lo recomiendo.

Pros: -Well paced. Breaks between intense fights helps a lot. -Cool story even if a little on bare side. -The hubworld is cool to walk around even if there isn't much to do -Easy to get into. Difficulty on normal is right where I like it. Cons: -The way the game constantly reminds you of the mission is overbearing. -Absence of voice acting makes some parts feel flat.

Five Word Review: Fun, intense twin-stick shooter. Favorite Thing: The action is pretty intense. Least Favorite Thing: Cliffhanger is just another word for incomplete and an incomplete story is always a black mark for me. Games should be tagged as such! Date Completed: 2018-02-20 Playtime: ~ 5h Enjoyment: 7/10 Recommendation: I enjoyed it. Don't know the last time I played a twin-stick shooter so I have nothing to compare it to.

Video game is like porn sometimes: It's not about the story, it's about the pleasure. This game is fun overall but unrewarding at times. New game plus or hard is the way to go. + Gameplay + Art and Style + Setting + Music - Story Too many loose threads in the story. Some parts are nonsensical. If girl is not under control of boss then why trust her? Boss always look for power except on this one? Akira and Evangelion were better at symbolism in stories. They should have studied them instead of banally recombining the artistic scheme. Still a good effort. I liked it.

This game really painfull to play on hard, but only so you get the maximum pleasure from the victory over every boss + Gameplay + Setting + Music - Story

Tough but fair game play that gives you a great feeling when you figure out each fight's answer, GREAT soundtrack, hits the tone of the game right on the head and sounds like nothing else. The characters and the world had a lot of effort put into them but it is the sound and visuals that carry this game forward. Audio: 9 Visuals: 8 Gameplay: 8

Excellent style, amateurish execution. The hitboxes are insanely large, and it's super easy to get killed when it's clear you weren't hit. Conversely, shotgun to an enemy's face? Still alive most of the time. The design, writing, and soundtrack are really well thought out. It's too bad it's paired with a dev team that simply can't deliver on gameplay. There's no real excuse for this. Try again next time guys.

Dynamic gameplay and a great soundtrack. Stylization of cyberpunk, aggressive red tones. Merciless level of complexity. I think this game is a breath of air in the game industry. I love it so much!

Ruiner Twin stick greatness Ruiner is a cyberpunk styled twin stick shooter set in the year 2091, you play as a sociopath out to save your kidnapped brother... This game was designed to be brutally difficult and has even gotten flak from other reviewers for being so tough… But this game actually has difficulty settings... and if you set your ego aside and play on the games easy mode which is designed to be just the right amount of challenging... This 5 hour game can be insanely fun, satisfying and hard to put down… This game features 16 levels total and each level really looks and feels the same… But the game is so fun to play that you hardly notice as you’re going batman on the enemies surrounding you to this games amazing soundtrack… Enemies have a variety of weapons they carry all of which you can pick up and use on the fly… at first you have a shield and you’re able to dash as well as use a melee weapon and a ruiner gun with infinite ammo, and of course enemies are all carrying better weapons… getting used to combat can take a little while, but once you do you feel like a superhero, snatching up new weapons and looking at your surroundings while the game briefly goes into slow motion defeating enemies will award you karma, which can also be found in chests, and extra weapons laying around after a fight can be put into a weapon grinder for karma as well.. This is essentially your experience… and you level up in ruiner at a very satisfying pace, the game doesn’t feel grindy once… Managing your skill points and crafting your ruiner around your playstyle is where the greatness of this game comes in... You have a variety of choices on where you can dump you skill points into and if you’re not happy with your choices you can take skill points back at any time... you’re not stuck dealing with it… a lot of your skills such as grenades and your shield use up your energy, but you can unlock the ability to spend your energy on health regeneration, you can spend your health on energy regeneration… by the games end my character felt like a tank as id be using energy for grenades and health but I had the perk of shooting refilling my energy… this came really late in game, the final couple of levels.. but I felt unstoppable with this chain of abilities I worked my way up to… there are also robots that will drop in with gifts like energy, health, and weapon drops… where the real challenge comes into play is with this games bosses.. It’s filled with mini and main bosses that definitely take effort to defeat... but this game is great with its checkpoints… letting you hop right back in with all of your health and ammo back to give it another shot… The game on its easy mode felt perfectly balanced.. I was challenged and I was having fun… but of course you can go into a hire difficulty If you’re more about frustration... the point is the option is there to play this game the way you want… Ruiner is a tad underrated.. If you’re a twin stick shooter fan don’t skip it... I give Ruiner an 8/10

keyboard controls aren't **** you don't play with wasd you're **** you don't like the control setup you're screwed.....this is absolutely unacceptable in this time and age pathetic

The perfect cyberpunk adventure you are looking for. The shooting feels great, the difficulty is well balanced and there is even an Easy Mode for you wimps out there. Art Music Combat Story all blend perfectly. Only problem I have with this game is that i want MOAR of it!
